Quick-pickled Radishes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Total time: 24 hours

Ingredients

300g mixed radishes, trimmed and rinsed.

125ml white wine vinegar

250ml water

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tsp granulated sugar

8 black peppercorns (optional)

3 allspice berries (optional)

1-2 bay leaves(optional)

Method

Step 1: In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the vinegar, water, sugar and salt, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil and remove from the heat.

Step 2: Thoroughly wash and dry a 500 ml glass jar with an air-tight lid.

Tip: Don’t use plastic or metal containers to store your pickles, as it will affect the taste.

Step 3: Lightly crush the peppercorns and allspice berries if using, and place in the bottom of the jar with the bay leaves and the radishes.

Step 4: Pour over the hot pickling brine, then tap and shake the jar gently to disrupt any air pockets before securing the jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 5: Refrigerate overnight before enjoying in salads, on a cheeseboard, or simply with bread and butter.  The pickles will keep in the fridge for a week or two.
